NASA Ames ready for liftoff – Giant research park at Moffett will include office space, 1,000 housing units, Mountain View Voice

“A 5.6 earthquake was only the second thing to shake City Hall on Tuesday night, after a NASA Ames official announced the agency would be taking bids next year on a massive research park at Moffett Field that will provide homes and office space for private companies, NASA and several colleges. Michael Marlaire, NASA Ames director of partnerships, said the research park would become “a goldmine for the informal meeting” — in other words, the casual exchange of ideas — as college students worked and lived next to employees from NASA and companies like Google.”

Company floats Zeppelin idea, Mountain View Voice

“After noticing the controversy over the Google founders’ jumbo jets last month, Los Gatos-based Airship Ventures is putting out feelers to see what Moffett neighbors would think of up to 1,000 Zeppelin flights a year out of the airfield. The company aims to provide tours of the San Francisco Bay Area for $500 a person in its 264-foot Zeppelin NT airship — which is slightly longer, but much quieter, than a Boeing 747.”

Foothill-De Anza among those eyeing Research Park – Local district joins UC, San Jose State in bid to create ‘super campus’, Mountain View Voice

“Besides creating a consortium of federal agencies and private high tech firms, the NASA Ames Research Park at Moffett Field will include a strong educational presence and the Foothill-De Anza Community College District hopes to get in on the game.”
